Dr. Saad El Sayed Mahdy

I have been working as a locum consultant anaesthetist in the University Hospital
Limerick since January 2011. In my role as locum consultant anaesthetist I have taken
responsibility for the management of elective day case, orthopaedic including elective
and trauma specially spinal trauma, breast surgery, vascular, GIT surgery and
emergency stable and unstable patients. Participation in the Intensive Care Rota has
given me an excellent opportunity to work at a consultant level in a tertiary hospital
ITU achieving and maintaining all skills in relation to up-to-date techniques used in
modern intensive care management. I have been involved on a larger scale in the
provision of the perioperative echocardiography service at Mater Hospital, which
includes procuring equipment, maintenance of equipment necessitating
communication with engineering and the companies, audit, follow-up and teaching of
other colleagues.
